Benge WA
T16N R37E Section 2
Located SW 1/4 Sec. 2 T. 16 R 37, about 80 feet south of the County Rd.
Probably burials. Only two marked stones remaining. One bears the word
GILES. According to Jim Clinesmith of Benge this was the daughter of a
family living beside the MULLAN TRAIL and she died after eating some
home canned beans. The other stone is marked McManamon child.
According to Frances McManamon Ottomeier of Fillmore, California, this
might be a child of her cousin, Chester McManamon and his wife Maud
(VanMarter). Could be about 1920.
